People ask about meditation. Why meditate? As we know, there are many aspect to Spiritual Practice and Meditation is a large part of it.
To Meditate is to help ourself and our SELF perceive itself. It helps letting go of the mind so we have a way to go deep into our true nature and realized the SELF so we are finally free for the cycle of Duality, from creating Karma, and we see the world as though it is all a play of light in which the Self and the Life is forever moving like waves on the ocean, knowing that it is all one, and perceive only truth, love, peace, harmony and evolve to the next dimension in a certain way.
But what is the mind then? And how do I meditate. Well, let's see.
Meditation is the so important to spiritual practice and practicing divine unconditional service. It helps us identify with that pure consciousness, Shyam Space, the Tao, the Way, who is us, who is eternal, one, beyond duality of the mind. It helps us transform our consciousness and expand our mind. It helps us understand the one who is doing the service is not the mind, not the intellect, not our ego, not our body with the senses, but it is that Way. Not me, not Annissa. I am just the instrument, who was made by the Way to know itself as the Way. So the mind is just the instrument made up of our external perception and internal emotions, ideas, concept and help taking care of the functioning of the body. Mind is just a functioning tool. But a tool that as human being we have identify with. It is like a carpenter who thinks he is not the carpenter but he is the hammer. Lao Tzu said that the man who knows many other people is a wise man. But the one man who knows his Self (himself) is enlightened. So our mind can not know itself. Our mind is just helping take care of the form, the body, the family, the work, making money, ect... but unfortunately has the power to cover the Way while the Knower, the Way, the Tao becomes aware of itself. To meditate is to be able to little by little lift the cover, and be and know that I am the Knower, the Tao, The Divine, with the quality of the observer, not involved, out of duality, one, all emcompassing, forever, pure consciouness, pure love, pure all, pure knowledge, vast, empty, never born, never dying, from which all is created, who is the creator ect...Amuram Hum, Madhuram Hum, I am eternal, i am blissful, I am the Way. And this is all there is to know when meditate. Fix your attention on that which you are and just watch. Watch the thoughts, do not fight, do not engage. Watch the mind, then watch the Knower and the more you do the more you identify with that, the more your mind will purify. There are levels to that to. But this is what I can share at this time.
Meditation is work on the mental body in a way. And it is work. You are not just sitting. Even if it is just few minutes a day. why? because you have to train with a spiritual master. Because your mind changes and you have to use awareness, you have to face up, be present, recognise your actions as mind, or as Knower, you have to identify with something you don't know...yet you know...the Knower knows...You have to be patient, open to grow, open to purify your mind of attachments. Since I meditate, my perception is attune and quickly manifest around me many "things" and "situations" that reflects my inner world. It also becomes a lifestyle and a way of life. And then when you reach that realized state, you keep meditating and expanding.
But life becomes easier.
The Tao, the way, the Space is so vast. One can poke at it. I have had many experiences of it. Yet, it is not staying and my perception so quickly gets covered up that it's like the eclipse of the sun in a split second. You know it happens but you can not do anything about it. But at least you know!! That is a huge step. Then, it is our work as human being to pierce through that cover and let the light shines thru or the knower, the emptiness, the eternal presence of Life, pure consciousness, Divine Self and be free human beings, happy for real! This work is accelerated in the presence of a Spiritual Master as that is why I appreciate Master Sha, Swami Shyam and others who have pointed the way and litterally helping us uplift the cover. They are us. They are us as our Divine Self. They are the divine presence on this earth. It is such an amazing happening to be in their presence. Thank you Thank you Thank you. We are so blessed!
